Quite simply anything you would bring on a normal holiday. Do remember a towel though, as we do not provide them. Any supplements, such as proteins, as they are more expensive here.

Equipment such as gloves, handwraps, shinguards, mouthpieces, groin guards, and shorts are available to purchased at the gym, or you may bring your own.

No, you do not. One of the advantages of living and training in the Philippines is that a high percentage of the population speaks fluent English, which makes communication easy.

This does not mean that you should still not try to learn one of the native Filipino tongues. The most popular of these are Tagalog and Cebuano. A good word to start with and one you will hear often in the Philippines is “Salamat”, meaning Thank You

Yes, you can. Throughout the Philippines, there are many fight promotions and events that happen very often. There are opportunities to fight MMA, Boxing, and Muay Thai, amateur or professional.

The Philippines is also home to a growing grappling scene, and tournaments are held quite frequently.

We also run Boracay Beatdown, our homegrown fight promotion that takes place inside the gym. It is a great place to get your feet wet, so to speak, and gain experience. These fights are amateur with bouts in MMA, Muay Thai, and Boxing.

Our trainers are skilled in working with all experience levels - from professionals fighting at the top levels of their sport to beginners still mastering the basics. The trainers will push you to su

We have had students come to us with little or no training. But with the right work ethic and the proper amount of training they have entered their first fights, and some have gone on to have very fine careers.

Most countries will be issued a 30-day tourist visa-on-arrival once arriving in the Philippines.

It is very simple to extend your visa in the Philippines. Unlike Thailand, you do not need to leave the country to extend or get a new visa. The immigration office in Boracay is very conveniently located 15 minutes from the gym and is just a short walk from D'Mall (the main shopping area of Boracay)

Though it will vary, the price for most extensions will range from ₱3,000 to ₱7,000.

The Peso (PHP) is the currency used in the Philippines. Check out the latest exchange rates at XE.com.

ATM's are available throughout Boracay, as well as banks for exchanging. BPI, BDO, Allied, and MetroBank are a few of the banks with locations on Boracay.

While we do not have a restaurant in the gym, there are a number of places on our road (Diniwid Road) close by to eat. The most popular of which are Divine Refreshment, Barefoot Café, Na Meet, Stella Italian Cuisine, the Greek Place, Wahine, Mama's Fish House and “The Trike Place”.

Other choices in Boracay include Mang Inasal, Smoke Resto, Muchies and Nice Place. D’Mall is the main shopping area of Boracay and many other restaurants can be found inside.

We have Wi-Fi internet available throughout the gym, free of charge. Additionally, there are internet cafes located within a short distance. Many of our students also use the 4G signal from one of the mobile networks. Unlimited data and internet can be had through your mobile phone for roughly ₱1000 a month.

Most visitors opt for motorized tricycles, which act as the island's taxis and make up most of its traffic. Tricycles are very cheap and very convenient; there always a constant stream of tricycles along Main Road and most rides cost around ₱10 to ₱20.

Short rides on busy routes, say from D'Mall to Station 3 or from Station 1 to Station 3, are a standard rate of ₱20 per passenger if you hire a vacant trike as they drive past. Trikes that are stationary and seeking passengers are seen as seeking a chartered fare and fares will start at ₱60. In short, if you wish to save money, you should flag down a moving vacant trike. Tricycle will also have a list of their standard fares posted.

Long rides, like Puka beach to D'Mall, should cost around ₱40. Drivers waiting near beaches, hotels, etc, generally ask a higher price like ₱150-200 even if you're alone. May be worth bargaining if there are a few people with you and you want an individual ride - otherwise, better catch a passing-by tricycle on the main road.

Motorbikes and bicycles can also be rented throughout the island.
